And this is my second German Flak Barge. First volume you can find in Scale Military Modeller International magazine (Volume 39, Issue 456, March 2009). I used Flak 38 from Tristar, the barge is Verlinden resin, also I use resin accessories, and figures. And after that I do small lake for that.

Hi !Ok, so Flak 38 - late version is ready, nearly. Just one thing - metalize the barrel. And use some pigments on mounting. I use few sheels (cal. 20mm - RBmodel), ammo casettes, and few details. Now I need base for it. Flak 38 - Tristar great kit !

Hello!This is my new work - converted V3000 from ICM to Maultier from Italeri. Only Ford cabine and front wheels was used from standard box, rest is from Italeri kit. Chassis is longer than standard by 1,1 cm. Next truck will be supported with metal tracks. Now it's time for Flak 38.

Hello Hooo Hooo Hooo !I've nearly done brand new Ford V3000 S truck from ICM.I must said - kit is not perfect, truly it looks like not done yet, few elements was forget.There is no tool holders and wipers, any tarpaulin. Wheels are poor.But cab is good detail for even Tamiya chassis, conversions etc.Now I need cargo load, some dirt, dry mud, and nice base.

I've got only 5 months to upgrade my painting techniques, before February contest in Bytom. I decide to practice on bigger kits. Choose was made: two latest Tigers from Italeri, quality is poor, but for impressive painting - perfect. At least Italeri starts to giving few p.e. parts in the box.

Today I'm ready for next step in my journey with that interesting kit. In just a moment I will try to end it, just few elements needed. Also I still try to find idea for cargo box. Maybe some vehicle ?

I've started Mercedes L4500 (Zvezda kit) few days ago. Using Plusmodel's conversion I will build rail-truck. Now chassis is ready, cabin interior too. In next few hours I will try to paint cabin overall, do washes, chipping. And finally mount cabin with engine on the chassis.
